Escape the grind of winter with Aroma Coffee Festival Stimulate your senses with the aroma of the blends and brews of selected artisan coffee roasters, at the 8th annual Aroma Coffee Festival in The Rocks on Sunday 24 July.
The Rocks Aroma Coffee Festival is a coffee-lover’s paradise. The festival is considered the largest coffee festival in the Southern hemisphere, featuring the smallest of roasters next to bigger coffee houses, all offering their roasts and blends to the public for as little as $1 per cup.
There is also a Domestic Coffee Machine Expo, coffee workshops, a Turkish Coffee House, and live music and entertainment.
From 10am–5pm on Sunday 24 July, visitors to Aroma will experience a baristic bonanza as more than 25 artisan coffee roasters showcase their blends and brews. Consume as many sample cups for $1 as you like and compare the different roasts as you wander through Sydney’s heritage quarter.
Whether it’s a plunger, percolator or serious coffee machine that brews your daily cup, the mysteries of grind, dose and infusion will be revealed in a series of free demonstrations and workshops by Australia’s leading food and coffee experts at the ASN Theatrettes, on the corner of Hickson Road and George Street.
The latest domestic coffee equipment will be on display for visitors to Aroma to touch, see, try and buy, at the Domestic Coffee Machine Expo. Expert demonstrators will profile a wide range of models in Customs Hall on the upper level of the Overseas Passenger Terminal.
For some Middle Eastern flair, dip into the Turkish Coffee House with belly dancers, middle-eastern music and coffeepots made from hand-hammered copper and brass.
Enjoy strong Turkish coffee, brewed the traditional way since
the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, while reclining on colourful cushions, at the Argyle Stores in Playfair Street.
Smooth jazz tunes, laid back lounge and other earthy beats will complement the coffee aromas wafting through the air. Entertainers, including Blue Grassy Knoll, a theatrical 5-piece troupe that plays live film scores to quirky black and white silent flicks, will perform live throughout the day, at the Overseas Passenger Terminal Forecourt, in addition to performers at First Fleet Park.
The Rocks Aroma Coffee Festival is presented by Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and proudly sponsored by Ford, Saeco, Piazzo d’Oro and Network Ten.
